I loved Body Wisdom! Not only did I feel empowered by my teachers and all Body Wisdom staff, but the students were amazing as well. Body Wisdom was beyond my expectations. Not only was I able to learn how to massage, but I also learned to be creative and confident in massaging; as well as how to take better care of myself. My life has changed coming to the school.

I loved going to Body Wisdom! Everyone is friendly, kind, and easygoing. Great flow of the core courses with awesome information! A lot of good instructors from all walks of life and with all kinds of experience and skills, which makes it a great school to go to. Plus, I enjoyed my classmates. My favorite electives were prenatal, geriatric, and Indonesian spa for a wide range of tools to serve a wide range of clientele!

Body Wisdom is a school that is filled with people that love to help make other's lives better and more comfortable, whether by molding the body, mind, or spirit. There are so many options for classes that you won't be able to fit all you want to learn in 900 hours!

Everyone is very helpful and wants you to succeed. The atmosphere is wonderful and I would recommend the school to anyone.

Michael McDermott, Ames, IA ~ 9-17-24

I loved the people and community the school has. I always felt welcomed and cared for when I was at the school. The instructors never let you feel dumb or less than if you didn't know something or asked a question. I felt really supported during my program!

Nellie Strait-Ramirez, Ankeny, IA ~ 8-26-24

Body Wisdom is a great place to learn and grow. As a beginner it sets you up for success as a provider. For providers it continues your learning and allows you to share and give back to the community as a Life Long Learner.

Matthew Mathis, Des Moines, IA ~ 8-4-24

I love Body wisdom. All of the instructors and staff are openhearted, kind people. This is a place where you just feel at home... like you have found your people. Sadly, that doesn't seem to be easy to find these days. Body Wisdom has it...and had it 20 years ago when I first joined the school. That is impressive to maintain those strong values and stay true to them for so long. I love it here. I will miss being around all of these lovely people... but I will be back as often as I can to take more classes. And I absolutely would recommend Body Wisdom to all my friends.

Jennifer Dodd, Booneville, IA ~ 8-4-24

I loved getting to choose the direction of my education by choosing the classes I took.

Julie Durian, Oskaloosa, IA ~ 7-30-24

My experience at body wisdom was definitely something I needed in my life. The bond I shared with fellow students going through the program with me was unmatched. We were all there for each other and it really helped me through my hours! My clinic instructor was always there for me during my struggles throughout the program, and so were G and Ali. They accepted me exactly how I was and encouraged me to show up that way. And I'm very thankful for that!

Abigail Fernau, Des Moines, IA ~ 07-17-24

I graduated December 2022 (from Body Wisdom School). It absolutely changed my life for the better and I learned an immense amount of material. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and very-well rounded. I highly recommend anyone considering massage therapy to pursue their education here.

I would like to extend my appreciation to the staff, mentors, alumni and all the wonderful students/therapists I've had the pleasure of connecting with and learning from. The support throughout my program was top tier... I could not have completed it without the faith and compassion I received from staff and instructors. I felt lucky to customize my schedule with an array of courses to choose from, broadening my experience to optimize career opportunities. I am grateful for this immersive space to cultivate and nurture a vision for my career. The genuine and constructive guidance I received, has further instilled confidence in my purpose and enhanced my time at this school. I look forward to returning for continued education.
